that's what velduro should have done too with the shock orientation, all the shocks would have fitted

I like the orientation as it is, I think simply moving the charge port up would’ve given most shocks adequate clearance. With a sideways mount like the one you have above, the reservoir can get in the way.
 
The annoying thing about it is it shouldn't be happening in the first place.... It's all good getting a warranty replacement but then you're off the bike for the foreseeable until it turns up. I've never been interested in a second or spare bike, I can do everything on the one but maybe I should get a second one as a backup for when the inevitable happens 😂🤔
Rookie mistake only having one bike.

Stuff and can does go wrong. Either warrantee, breakages or wear and tear. Just like death and taxes you can guarantee that something will cause bike downtime at some point.

Then you have a reservoir smashing ya ankles. The same big reservoir shocks wouldn't work. No thanks.

When they go to replace the moulds I'm sure they will just tweak the downtube forward 10mm on the cad model and solve the problem.

I have one wife. She is my best friend. When she's ill or otherwise up-on-blocks then that's life. No way I want a second wife any more than I want a second bike. My first bike, like my wife, gets my full love and attention. As does her bike. Simples.

That's all well and good if it was only me in my house who rides. But when the Mrs and son also ride it gets a bit expensive 😂. And it's not like they are on cheap bikes either. I will and always have been a one bike man...

Only 3 in your household ride? That's rookie numbers.....

I have 5 that ride. Plus my son and i race enduro and dh. Yep its not cheap. But great times!

your shock height is > than the q-factor of your cranks? do you regularly hit your ankles against your cranks too?
Sometimes. I had a similar set up on the pole except horizontal shock and kept bashing the reservoir with my knee.
 
Seems like a few have possibly cancelled their preorder? Any issues with refunds? (uk specific). What were your reasons?

Although i haven't, i did order on the basis of leaked/incorrect(?) info from the Uk importer a few months back, so am very keen to know the actual spec of the frame i ordered asap.
Am in no rush for a bike and would be a bit miffed to get what is currently advertised, especially if in another few months a revised batch is available.

Im also wanting to move my order from the importers to ace cycles so need to check that won't affect my right to cancel. Mainly as they are closer, plus they have a bundle with an e-storia for an extra £700 which is an excellent deal.

What are you miffed about on the currently advertised frame package out of interest? Also just email Velduro UK and they will answer your questions.
 
I just actually want to know why you have a forklift in your garage 😆
Hehehe.... Doesn't everyone?
My side hustle business is manufacturing Plummet vertical bike racks. I order in 300kg of bike rack parts at a time and got sick of manually loading/unloading/loading/ packing orders.... Enter the forklift and it is oh for awesome!

Mainly chainstay length on l and xl. If they are reportedly 450mm i would have expected the main NZ site to have been updated by now. Oh and the claimed dual crown compatible upto 180mm.

Well thats an awesome reason, not that anyone needs a reason for a forklift. Should be standard issue for all garages 😆🤘

First batch still to get into NZ will have 440 CS, I’m sure they will update if it changes for the next batch.

Does anyone know if 240mm dropper fits in size L frame?

Yes i did see the next batch of nz bikes were due February on the website, so should be on the boat currently.
Where as uk due April.
The shipping times appear broadly similar from china to both countries, so im certainly hoping its an updated batch yet to be manufactured.

First batch should have arrived in the port today, not sure when the next is due.
I suppose it’s hard for them to say anything about any updates due to initial pre-orders not even in the hands of customers yet.
 
I'm trying to decide on drivetrain, I've been convinced on the use of electronic shifting (instant, no over shifting mangling the chain/mech), but which option of Shimano XT D2i or SRAM GX Eagle AXS?
Can either be wired to the avinox battery?

I think only the SRAM works with smoothshift on the Avinox.

I'm not sure, but I think Velduro currently has no cable connection between the AXS and the Avinox. I haven't seen it in any pictures yet. Does anyone know more about this?

they have, both for electric or mechanical shifting

Sethimus, I think you miss understand - it is possible to wire the motorised mech to the main battery pack (on Amflows at the very least), this is what I am querying, not the routing of cable.
 
Sethimus is correct, the Avinox motor has a power port, my understanding it's the same one that Bosch uses and therefore uses the same cord, that can power the Transmission derailleur.

Furthermore, the Rogue frame also has the correct wire routing built in to accomplish this.

Think about the Vala/ Bullit CC frames that run Bosch motors, the motor is capable of powering the Transmission derailleur, and Santa Cruz didn't even mold the frames to accommodate this. So incredibly stupid.
